Yeah, its the one based on McFarlane. I love it and you can never have enough geek moments. LOL.
Ah! That thing looks so cool! I did a damn back-flip when she got it for me! The fact that I'm a huge McFarlane fan (you know, from back when he used to draw...) made it that much cooler!!
As for MJ and Peter's marriage being under stress....that's every marriage. No marriage is perfect. If you think you marriage is perfect, then it's probably dead.
Marriage is built upon love and sustained by compromise. You can ask anyone. Even those who live together before marriage say that it changes once you get married. I've known people who lived together for years, and didn't make it through their first year of marriage. Once you start sharing everything, things change.
Peter and MJ, they were friends before they were married. She knew his secret, and he knew about her dad and her past. They loved each other, and they wanted to be together no matter what....that's why they got married. To think that love alone would sustain them is folly, though. MJ stays with Peter because she loves him....but also because she believes in him. She believes he is doing what's right, and she has decided to stand by him no matter what.
That's what keeps you together....faith. That, and a lot of determination. You have to decide when you get married that you won't let ANYTHING come between you and your spouse. You have to believe in them, and you have to KNOW that they believe in you. It's how things work.
Also, how many times have we seen Peter come home after taking on the Green Goblin or Rhino or Doc Ock and ask MJ how HER day was? Every time. He doesn't come in and begin telling her how he was fighting Doc Ock over on the top of an "L" train and crap like that. The only time he does that is when he's late coming home....like all us guys do. They listen to each other. She pays attention to him telling her about how the Lizard almost bit his head off with the same attentiveness that he gives her when she talks about some *****ebag director not giving her the part in a movie. They don't let one's life outweigh the other's life. If you came home and started talking to your wif eabout your day at the office like it was the end-all be-all event, and she tells you about her day at the doctor's office and you mock it as if it was unimportant, then you're belittling her, and that's not going to work.
I think that, if we saw Peter and MJ reciprocating each other's feelings and experiences more often, and perhaps even complimenting each other a little better, then we wouldn't hear anymore of this "break them up" nonsense.
Hey, I've got one for you....when was the last time we saw Peter and Mj out on a DATE?!
Give up.....it was issue # 51 or 52. It was right after they got back together. I know it was during the "Digger" arc. That's bull. If I went roughly 5 months without taking my wife out on a date, I'd be on the damn street corner! We should see Peter and MJ out on dates and doing married stuff more often. When's the last time they tooka trip somewhere? Can't recall....
And people wonder why the marriage seems dull!! Have them do something that married couples do!!! Have them fight over the damn remote, or the laundry not being done, and then have them make up and have Peter get some flowers or even have MJ do something nice for Peter!!!
You know what...just let me write the damned book. That'll fix everything.
Dumbasses.
Still I'm single and have always enjoyed seeing MJ & Peter together. I grew up with the 90's cartoon and couldn't wait until they got together in that as well.
